I'm surprised I even got these shots with my crappy point and shoot today. And it's my first time ever shooting pictures for a sport.

Nice. Really like the fourth one and the slow shutter speeds make it look really fast-paced and action-packed. Well done. :)

[angelangel]

Yes indeed, nice pictures.

It was a bit difficult at some points to get some of those shots, since they came out really blurry.

[beatzdawg]

some of those are really nice actually.

black and white in the low light area without proper exposure isn't recommended.

[Bourbonrogers]

[BloodyDragon]

Well I was using my point and shoot, it was difficult getting any shot at all since they were always so far away from where all the photographers were. If I had a zoom lens or something and a DSLR, that problem would have been solved.

And this is the camera I was using too, before anyone asks.

I really like the green in the grass, and the blue in the players shirts. Also, might I ask where you live?

why is everyone black

The actual quality of the pictures is high, though the slow shutter speed may be from a low ISO, which is why it's noise free.

Underexposed alot, but I like them.

I had to underexpose it since the grain is unbearable on my camera on 800-1600 ISO.

Also if I set the exposure any higher when I was at the game, it turned out everything became overexposed. So I had to keep it like the way it was unless I wanted to deal with overexposed shots. And everyone knows overexposed shots are much worse than an underexposed shot most of the time.
